I believe that San Siro is Italian slang for "Randy Git", and apparently Meazza had a bit of a reputation.

Australia can lay claim to Inter striker Christian Vieri as he grew up in Australia and apprantly is a huge cricket fan and if he does decide to join Chelski (as speculation is growing that he will) he will be able to watch quite a bit of cricket.

I hope he doesnt join Cheklski, but this will be Inter's last chance to cash up big on him and I predict that will come close to be being up there in some record transfer fee.

If he goes I'd expect it'll be around £20m, nowhere near a record.

When Inter brought Crespo of Lazio they got him for over 33 million pounds so I would imagine they would go pretty high as Vieri is considered one of the top 5 or 6 strikers in the world.

And Crespo has since moved for £17m.

The transfer market is very depressed and Vieri not as good as he used to be.

Top 5 or 6 strikers is pushing it IMO.

Actually I was wrong Crespo moved to Lazio for over that amount.

And you have to consider he has been injuried quite a bit but he did score 23 goals in 24 goals in 24 games last season for Inter and he has scored quite a few this season as well.

The fact he's got an injury track record would reduce his fee.

In the current market, he wouldn't go for anywhere near £30m, there's only 2 in the World that would, and they're both happy at their current clubs.

Apprantly Chelski are supposed to be interested in Parma goal keeper Sebiastian Frey.

IMO that doesnt make any sense to me. I doubt they would get rid of Cudicini, then there is Ambrosio who they brought Chievo Verona, Neil Sullevin off Tottenham and Jurgan Muncho off SUnderland.
